Crystal Palace could make a number of important sales between now and the end of the summer transfer window, with Ebelechi Eze and Marc Guehi having been strongly linked to Tottenham and Liverpool respectively. And they could also see another first team player go.
In addition to Eze and Guehi, the money could arrive in Selhurst Park via the sale of Matheus França, which spent a turbulent period at Crystal Palace. The 21 -year -old joined two of them were with many expectations, but he remained very short, with only 19 appearances and a goal was amassed in all competitions during his stay at the club.
Crystal Palace is ready to reduce their losses with França, but sell it could be difficult to make.
Crystal Palace set price requested for Matheus França Sale
According to ESPN Brasil (via Sport Witness), Crystal Palace wants to recover as much as possible from the 20 million euros they paid to sign França de Flamengo in 2023. Cruzeiro is one of the most interested clubs to sign the Brazilian playmaker, but this price may perhaps scare them.
In addition, François’ salary requests could also be a problem for Cruzeiro – and over time, they are a problem for Crystal Palace since they want it out of the books. However, it is expected that there will be no movement as long as at least one of the parties reduces their requests.
It will be an interesting end for the summer transfer window for Crystal Palace, which has already had a few difficult months after their demotion to the UEFA conference League. The possible departures of Eze and Guehi would crush the blows, even if they would argue to use these funds wisely – and this would also be the case if François had to leave.
